...I enjoy doing more. Most of my practice has taken place abroad: in Mexico where I worked for two of the State's most important Universities teaching TOEFL preparation and other English courses, as well as Spanish for non-native speakers, and in London where I worked as an ESL instructor for an International school. I currently work for a Spanish immersion school here in the city. I believe that my greatest strength as a teacher is...

...my bachelor’s degree in art history, where I also studied Classics, anthropology, psychology, history, English, and government, and spent one glorious semester studying abroad in Paris. At Skidmore I gained tutoring experience working as a peer-mentor, art history tutor, note-taker, and providing SAT prep and general homework help, as well as teaching English while studying in Paris. After Skidmore I moved to London where I earned my Master of Arts in art history at the...

...my academic pursuits, I have worked for companies such as Society for American Baseball Research (SABR), NBC Universal, and Red Wagon Entertainment. Recently, an essay I wrote was featured in the textbook Writing: Ten Core Concepts by Robert Yagelski (2014) as an example of exemplary student prose. In my free time, I enjoy reading, following baseball, and watching movies. I have a passion for learning as well as a fervent desire to help others succeed....

...things I already know. My main interest, however, is alternative energy and sustainable technologies. I pride myself on being a friendly and charismatic person, with the ability to make people comfortable around me and also understand the importance of what I am communicating. I am thorough and meticulous in my method of tutoring, and I try to make sure my student fully comprehends the scope of what they're learning. Aside from that, I enjoy meeting...

...students from the elementary school level to my current peer group. I have experience tutoring through MIT's Seminar XL and Tutorial Services Room programs in core subjects required for graduation (general chemistry, physics, calculus, multivariable calculus, and biology). I have also tutored students in SAT exam preparation for the past three years. Knowledge is an equalizer, and I firmly believe in paying my knowledge forward. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but my main...

...rowing team. After college, I taught elementary school English in South Korea for two years before becoming a rowing coach. I love to travel, read, and learn, and I love to share knowledge and learning experiences with others. Economics and English/literature are the two subjects I enjoy studying, and by extension teaching, the most, because they present two entirely different frameworks for understanding the world. I hope that I can pass on my curiosity, open-mindedness,...

...in a home that encouraged learning and the pursuit of curiosity. From joining in on adventures through reading or trying to become the next Marie Curie (my mother's a chemist, could you tell?) by attempting various at-home science experiments with my younger sister, my quest and thirst for knowledge continues to this day. That said, it is the sharing of knowledge that brought me to dabble in the field of education. My tutoring and teaching...

Jennifer

...students in urban, suburban, and rural settings and from a wide variety of life experiences and cultural backgrounds. In my experience, the key to successful teaching lies in understanding the learning style of each individual student and helping them marshal their greatest strengths toward the achievement of her educational goals, whatever those may be. Yet, my aim as a tutor is not simply to meet the overt goals of each student during our sessions. In...

...intensive college application workshop, where I provided SAT preparation and college admissions essay consulting. I have also had the opportunity to tutor at elementary schools around Providence, Rhode Island. I tutor a wide range of subjects, with emphasis on Test Prep and Writing, but my main passions are Statistics and Literature. I fell in love with Statistics after taking courses in it that were outside of my comfort zone during school. Helping students break through...

I enjoy working with students from a wide variety of age levels...
